There were six wise, blind elephants who were discussing what humans were like.
They could come to no agreement, so they decided to determine
what humans were like through direct experience.
The first wise, blind elephant felt the human, and declared, "Humans are flat."
The other wise, blind elephants, after similarly feeling the human, agreed.
Often called the Copenhagen interpretation. Objects, everyday real things, "float on a world that is not as real." (Bohr, Heisenberg.) The emphasis on uncertainty reminds me of Buddhism, at least the anti-realism aspect of it.

Sting theory, awesome!
Are they the same, I have an idea that they work together.
This can get really deep......I have to reflect on it a bit to further grasp
"Neural nets--
webs spun of the fine fabric of the universe
whose threads reveal their composition
to be of webs of even finer fabrics of universes ad infinitum...
echoes and reflections,
gradients of reverberating colors;
blending seamlessly in a pallet of nothingness,
(Pitch black and white light! Which is all colors? Which is none?)
creating a painting of eternity for we casual observers to perceive,
at least peripherally;
kind of reminds me of my acid trips in the 60's -

RFE,

I concur with others here who have deemed this article above par (ok...quite amazing!).
You have a penchant for posting articles that delve into both the history behind the thoughts and actions we are playing out and into the alternative thinking on the realities we base our perceptions on.
"Reality is an undivided wholeness."
I believe that we are unable to mathematically lock down predictions because we don't understand the relationships between the "whole" and its "parts." This is because the variables we put into the mathematical equation are not bound by the laws of said equation.
Truly, an alchemist (or a Wizard) has a better chance of predicting the future because he/she is not bound by the restriction of incomplete rules and understands that "chaos" will play a apart in most outcomes that are not just theoretical.

The Crux of the Bisquick is that man's understanding of the physical universe is connected to the social fabric, economic systems, politics,arts,and spiritual systems he designs.

That there are huge shifts in all of these things.
What shifts can we anticipate because of the advent of quantum physics?
Or is the realization of a quantum universe the result of a shift elsewhere...art...music...or are these simply random acts of synchronicity? -

This is one cool ass piece of writing!
I am one of those rare folks that actually applies Euclidian geometry to the real world on a daily basis. It kind of works as long as you do not step on it too hard with repetition too hard. Dealing with radiuses and circles is always cleaner if the formulas can be turned into triangles and the results are much more predictable than using Pi. (Pi is okay for estimating but sucks for actually cutting). The Fractal thing is something an old carpenter can relate to without a bit of hesitation. Kind of one of those “like no sh!t, of coarse things”. The pattern will progress and actually fall into the Vitruvian proportions.
The Mandelbrot “bug” is real in my shop.
It is funny that the numbers that play in the areas of circles and the “Golden Section” are all prime, and screw with my computer controlled machines.
I dig it! I think God was screwing with us by giving us ten fingers, and we where dumb enough to base our system of counting on that.
Math is definitely metaphysical. Symbols represent values.-

A great carpenter or woodworker-luthier indeed has an inherent insight into mathematical thinking. Quantum physics is already implied in what they create and how they create it...if viewed within a certain light anyway...sounds like it's a no brainer for you!
I confess it's taken me years of reading and thinking to get a grip on it, but with every article or paper, or book I've read it rang true and it seemed to represent more than just math. -

How then do we understand the rise of the neocon politics? They certainly do not reflect even an awareness of a quantum universe.
Reply
I posit that consciousness is like the physicist's "wave". That the extreme conservatism embodied in the politics of the last 30 years and the rise in popularity of fundamentalism is not an action, but a reaction. It's not the peak but rather, the trough.
For many, the ideas of relativity have not even yet fully been mentally digested...there are proponents of these movements that are having trouble with Newton, let alone Einstein...and A quantum universe is way way way out of even a peripheral glance. These movements are the low water mark. A pathetic attempt to cling to the consciousness of a much older era.
A rejection of scientific inquiry altogether. Imperialism...theocracy...torture...suspending Habeas Corpus and the like represent a yearning for the 12th century and it's paradigm.
This is a Newtonian reaction (equal and opposite!)
The advent of Quantum Mechanical thought pushes the human consciousness in one direction and it's opponents pull in the other.
The quantum universe and the possible comprehension of it transcend these movements.-

LOL, I' mg going to get in trouble but I would say "Satan"
For every action there is an opposite equal reaction, yin for yang, positive negative...
Your getting to heavy for me to discuss tonight!!!!!
At times it is best not to try and understand every thing, just know that God (an Universal Energy since every thing is energy) does exist and Quantum Physics is it's mathematical equation wrapped with colored strings.....lol -

Pout, I was hoping to visit one thread that didn't morph into a political discussion of how bad neo-cons were. alas, all that knowledge and we still return to the base of human snakiness.
Reply
It really popped me universal bubbles floating into infinity.
Groan, and yet once again, no mention of liberals, except that it's the opposite of neo-cons (Satan),,thus liberal mean goodness (God),, groan intellectualism is dead.
And to think I was actually enjoying this thread. How sad, how predictable and how incorrigible. -

Because of complex language and the nature of the human nervous system. Language was a later development, and it is easily used to set rigid states. People operate out of systems built up from experience, a house of cards, if you will. They learn what to give attention to and what may be safely ignored. They build on the ground and lay out strawman structures which they test as they shore up the structures.
Reply
Notice how little kids learn through endless cognitive dissonance. They learn how something "is" and after it becomes part of the background, they are able to see exceptions. But people cling to the constructs, and eventually lose sight of what is metaphor and what is real.
That's why "witches" are still burned, girls and women are denied access to practices and human rights in patriarchal religions, and gays are considered abominations by fundamentalist groups. It's the nature of culture and human development.
Notice how thought spreads. It is a wave of sorts. -

Crymtyphon dons a tweed jacket, slaps a degree on the wall, pulls out a cherrywood pipe and poses against a statue of Sir Isaac.
Reply
"Why yes, RadioFree, - of course I see what you suppose you are trying to express here."
Professor Crymtyphon fumbles with the pipe, coughs.
"I recall the poet Milton, blind you know, - wandered into a garden shed. He touched some rope, fell against a sheet of canvas, grabbed a garden hose, knocked against a pillar, and then came out insisting that there was an elephant in there!"
Professor Crymtyphon drops the pipe, peers at the statue of Neuton, nerviously.
The statue stares in the distance, with a gaze that sees
eternity in a grain of sand.
And there was an elephant in the shed. -

Isn't it somewhat ironic that capitalism is now collapsing for some of the same reasons.
(Unmanageable military spending, theft by a "privileged" class...political in the USSR, economic in the USA) Poor leadership.

In the 1950s, the advent of Soviet Socialism (which many refer to as "Communism"--but it actually doesn't fit the definition as laid out in the manifesto) was used to further comingle government and religion through pushing to add "Under God" to the pledge and put "God" on more of the money.
Reply
Jerry Falwell's "Moral Majority" was born from this as well. Opportunists, looking for cracks they could crawl through to spread their ideas. Liberty, Regents, Patrick Henry, and other fundamentalist Christian-based colleges and universities were the outgrowth.
This seems Hegelian--thesis, antithesis, synthesis. But it's not clean, because before the synthesis from one action-reaction can occur, others appear.

A couple quotes from some of these anarchs:
Reply
"I am afraid the knockabout comedy of modern atomic physics is not very tender towards our aesthetic ideals. The stately drama of stellar evolution turns out to be more like the hair-breadth escapades in the films. The music of the spheres has a painful suggestion of ... jazz."
-- Arthur S. Eddington, Stars and Atoms
"The more success the quantum theory has, the sillier it looks."
--Albert Einstein
"Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it."
--Richard Feynman.
"Physics is not difficult, it is just weird."

I'm one of the lowly uneducated. For some reason to many, education can only be obtained in college.
Reply
however I do love science and read things about these theories and the science channels are the ones I watch the most.
The string theory has been around for some time and it keeps changing *more strings added to the theory'. Then you have to add the dark matter and multi universes to account for all the missing matter that should be in the universe and where all the gravity came from for the weakest force to be able to do what it does.
So far it's all theory and you can be certain that it will be tweaked for some time in the future.
Maybe the collider in Europe can come up with viable answers to many unknowns.-

Slate, your correct, String theory got it's start in 1921 when it was discovered that Electromagnetism can be derived from gravity in a unified theory if there are four space dimensions instead of three, and the fourth is curled into a tiny circle. Kaluza and Klein made this discovery independently of each other.
Reply
This led to Three particle theorists independently realizing in 1970 that the dual theories developed in 1968 to describe the particle spectrum also describe the quantum mechanics of oscillating strings. This marks the official birth of string theory.
And we can be sure that we know parts of what will be "string theory" though we don't know enough to predict what the final outcome will be.
But in a way it can never be "done", as even if we knew everything...since the universe is dynamic and changing by the time we "knew" we knew everything...
the Universe would have changed and we would not know "everything"! -

College is a certain type of unique experience, and people derive various benefits from it, but it's certainly not the only way to become educated. It does show one can set a very difficult, time-consuming, and expensive long-term goal and achieve it, but one can show that other ways, too.

They say the physical 'reality' of which we are aware, is only 4% of the universe and the rest is dark matter or the space in between. Seems we have a ways to go in our understanding of the fundamental energy that permeates all. It would really be sad to think that humans are the pinnacle of creation and our 'religions' the outward expression of intelligence.

I just reread an abstract on the Higgs Bosun, which I wish I had done before posting this as it had been several years since I had last read about it.
Reply
the Higgs Bosun theory, corrected, is that there is a universal field which all particles must pass through in order for them to gain what we identify as mass. each field in the universe is itself made up of particles (e.g. electrons-electro magnetic field) so the Higgs Bosun Particle is the theoreticle Particle making up this first field giving mass to all other things.
having reread this theory, I am reminded of the details of my thery many years ago when I first read Higgs theory. that the divine soul could be this original field they are searching for. -

I remember reading about something called a Higgs-Bosun particle. the theory went like this (as I remember) when adding up the mass of each individual part of an atom (protons, electrons, weak, strong, etc) the total never equalled the total mass of an atom. It always came up short. the mass of an atom was always more than the sum of its parts.
Reply
Higgs theorized that there is a Bosun particle which popped in and out of existence (my phrasing) too quickly to be measured individually, but so regularly that its mass registered as part of the total atomic mass.
to me this seemed illogical. if it was disappearing/reappearing so fast we couldn't detect they change but the impression of existence was still felt, shouldn't its presence register as always being there? by analogy: if I could flick the light switch on and off so fast that you couldn't tell there was a change, wouldn't the light appear to always be on? (the reason it wouldn't appear to always be off is that there really is light being added to the room)
so.. if we know that every atom has this unexplained extra mass without a corresponding material identifier. and that difference is the same in every atom. perhaps what we have found is the presence of the soul in all things. (an unseen force adding mass but not material to all life thereby making them more than the sum of their parts.) -

In a quantum universe they are the same anyway.
while it's quite true that I've not found a reasonable answer to the big questions in any religions.
Nor even the lexicon to even ask them.
I'll make no claim that a God exists, or not; for that matter. Many fellow travelers make that claim, but I simply do not.
From a statistical point of view the odds are not favorable for the bearded Abrahamic God that major religions subscribe to. It appears if there is a god at work in some sense...that god dances in chaos and roles dice while improvising free jazz .
In the spirit of quantum mechanics, god can not exist until it is observed.
But the physics have no effect on whether there is or is not a god.
Hey Nietzsche!... god may not be dead...just irrelevant.

FTA - "Theoretical physics neither suggests nor denies man's notions of God or Gods."
Reply
and,
"Unlike Relativity, Quantum Mechanics offers no coherent ideas about "reality,"rather it gives us a set of tools for predicting, and statistical possibilities. The model of Quantum Mechanics "works" but Quantum facts remain inexplicable. The excitement lies in the way it has revived speculative philosophy as an integral component of science."
The whole article was excellent, but I picked these two statements because of the constant bickering about universal facts. Only experts think they can argue amongst themselves and then enlighten the masses. Absolutely not true! If you look at most of the scientists we now revere, they went through some pretty hard times to get their theories published and/or accepted as mainstream. They were the oddballs of their day and not the norm. So, I say to the experts, espousing facts you may not even understand doesn't make you anything more than a reporter of what has happened.-

Excellent point DW!
Reply
I am fascinated by the implications of this research but in no sense an expert or trained in modern physics. My only advantage is that through my daughter who IS a computational Physicist working in the field of neuroscience, I get to converse from time to time with some real heavyweights in the field (Professors and research team leaders). I would NOT profess to understanding the truths of quantum physics...but neither would they... being aware of them is another story.
I think it takes a novice such as myself to synthesize a connectivity between Theoretical Physics, Music, Alchemy, Taoism, Fractal Geometry, indeed politics, and economics.
Just as it took a child to say"the emperor has no clothes".
Yet the premise that "it's all ONE" seems to indicate some validity to the claim! -

I have some friends who are cosmologists, and they are amusing at how rigid they become in some viewpoints. But it's that rigidity that enables them to stick with it until they've described it as intricately as possible and published an article.
